Directions

  • Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Cook pork, turning often until evenly browned, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a platter and pour off drippings.
  • Add onion and garlic to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is starting to brown and caramelize, 12-15 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, 5-8 minutes.
